I would like to take a second to take a deep breath, stick out my chest, and thank the baseball gods for another week of first place in my home league. I lost the lead for a week, but put myself up with a 9 game lead on my opponents with two solid weeks.

While I'm at it, I want to thank Justin Morneau for being such a badass this season. I traded away an injured Derreck Lee for Roger Clemens in April, and while I later acquired Big Teix to fill the gap at first base, it wasn't until I picked up Morneau out of the FA pool that I felt like my team was complete.
